Just a short drive from Ubud, Mount Batur (also known as Kintamani Volcano) is a sacred active volcano and one of the most famous tourist attractions in Bali. One of the most popular activites at Mount Batur is to get up early in the morning and enjoy a hike to the 1,700-meter summit where one can watch the spectacular sunrise. The trail is well marked and relatively easy to complete in two to three hours. On a clear day, the views of Lake Batur and the surrounding mountain range are breathtaking.
Mt Batur is recognized in Hoptale's First-Time Visitor Guides as one of the top things to do in Bali.
